Air Pollution Controls and Measurements
In our city, buildings using central coal heating system are monitored throughout the year for minimizing air pollution caused by heating, as we are authorized to do so by the Ministry of Environment and Urban Planning.
Central heating systems must be operated by trained personnel, building chimneys and boilers must be maintained and cleaned by persons or legal entities authorized by our municipality; we perform inspections to verify these and checks following complaints.
“Sales Licenses Certificates” of coal stores selling coal used for heating purposes in our city are checked and we take samples of these coals; these are assessed based on the standards specified in the decisions announced by the Local Environment Board of the City.
Furthermore, according to the regulation on private hospitals and private outpatient diagnosis and treatment clinics, our teams receive documents to do air pollution assessments of private hospitals to be established and they perform on-site inspections before issuing related reports.
